To determine the directions of all the horizontal forces acting on crate 2 in the given scenario, let’s analyze the forces involved:
Given these considerations, the correct diagram will have the rope force and friction force both acting to the left, and the cable force and force from crate 3 both acting to the right.
The correct answer is:
(D) Rope ← | Friction ← | Crate 2 | → Cable | → Crate 3
